Japan-U.S. Alliance a Top Priority
Potentially contentious defense and economic issues are expected to top the agenda of the prime minister’s meeting with Trump on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held her first phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, with the new Japanese leader saying that strengthening the two countries’ alliance is “a top priority” ahead of summit talks Tuesday.
"We agreed that we will work toward elevating the Japan-U.S. alliance to new heights,"
"I told him that strengthening the alliance is my administration's top priority on the diplomatic and security front."
Takaichi spoke to Trump for about 10 minutes as the U.S. leader was aboard Air Force One bound for the same summit.
